One with an NMI bus, naturally. The low-end 8000s are pure VAXBI (I
have an 8300).
I'm sad I had to abandon a VAX 8530 when Software Results closed down
in 1993. It was a bit large for home use, and I was never going to
have 3-phase power for it.
AFAIK, it got left for our landlord to dispose/sell off. We only paid
$5000 for it a year earlier (nobody wanted them in the early 90s) so
it's unlikely he found a quick buyer.
